It can be easy to identify when your child has to go to the doctor, like when they have a fever or complain of pain or burning with urination. But could there be a problem when your child is simply urinating a lot?
Frequent urination is defined by the International Children's Continence Society as urinating eight or more times during waking hours in a child 5 years of age or older. While it is not always a serious problem, it isn't always quite normal either. So even without other symptoms, children with frequent urination should have a visit with their pediatrician.
To be best prepared, it's wise to have a detailed history of your child's bladder and bowel habits written down or stored away in your brain (or on your phone). Questions that your pediatrician will likely ask in order to tease apart the various causes of frequent urination include:
In addition to going through your child's habits, your pediatrician will also perform a physical exam and urinalysis to rule out certain causes of frequent urination like an infection or diabetes mellitus.
If your pediatrician is not able to discern the cause of your child's frequent urination, or if they suspect a condition that requires a more thorough evaluation by a specialist, you will be referred to either a pediatric urologist (a doctor who specializes in treating the urinary tract disorders) and/or a pediatric nephrologist (a doctor who specializes in treating kidney disorders).
There are a number of reasons why your child may be urinating a lot. Some are more obvious than others, like if your child is urinating a lot because they are drinking voluminous amounts of liquids, even though they are not thirsty (more out of habit than need).
Also, you may be surprised to learn that constipation can be linked to frequent urination. Children with constipation can have loops of intestine that are filled with stool. When these loops press on the bladder, children will have the urge to urinate. Here are some other potential reasons for frequent urination in your child.
With voiding dysfunction, children don't take the time to empty their bladder because they are in too big of a hurry to get back to playing. (This usually causes incontinence.) If you suspect this, encourage your child to fully empty their bladder each time they go to the bathroom, and put them on a schedule of voiding every 2 to 3 hours.
Another consideration is inflammation around the vaginal area (called vulvovaginitis). This might be caused by not wiping correctly or taking bubble baths. Similarly, balanitis, or inflammation of the meatus or opening of the penis, may occur.
Juvenile (or type I) diabetes is among the medical conditions that many parents have in the back of their mind when they bring their child to their doctor with frequent urination. Testing for diabetes will likely include a urinalysis that will show sugar or glucose and/or ketones.
Unlike other many other conditions that cause frequent urination, children with diabetes urinate large amounts each time (polyuria), are likely to also be drinking a lot (polydipsia), and are often losing weight, which are the classic symptoms of diabetes.
Diabetes insipidus (DI) is a rare cause of frequent urination. It is the result of a problem with antidiuretic hormone (ADH), a hormone that allows the kidneys to absorb water. If the kidneys can't conserve water, the body loses water, which leads to extreme thirst.
There are two kinds of DI. In central diabetes insipidus, children's bodies are unable to make the necessary amounts of ADH. Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus occurs in children who are unable to respond to the ADH in their blood.
Children with urinary tract infections often urinate more frequently, but they also often have other symptoms, such as pain and burning with urination (dysuria), cloudy or bloody urine, fever, and accidents.
They may also have back pain, nausea, and/or feel like they have to urinate all of a sudden (urgency). A urinalysis and urine culture are important tests to evaluate children with urinary tract infection symptoms.
Pollakiuria, also called frequent daytime urination syndrome, is a common although not very well-known cause of frequent urination in young children. Most common between the ages of 4 and 6 years, these children pass small amounts of urine about 10 times to 30 times each day.
They might also wake up at night to urinate. With this diagnosis, your child should have no other symptoms and a normal urinalysis. Although sometimes related to stress, no specific trigger is found for many children with pollakiuria and it often goes away in a few weeks or months without any treatment.
These are just some of the potential reasons why your child may be urinating often. Remember, though, that there are many causes for frequent urination, so it's worth having your child checked out by your pediatrician.
